Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh raspberries
Additional sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the raspberries.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle additional sugar on top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the scones are lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
